<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>

Ever wonder what is the difference between the J2EE containers?  How do these guys see themselves
and how they see each other?  What technologies do they all support? Now you get to ask.</p>



<p><span class="header2">The Panel:</span><br>
We'll have a panel consisting of the good folks from
  <a href="http://www.bea.com">BEA</a>,
  <a href="http://www.jboss.org/">JBoss</a>, and
  <a href="http://www.ibm.com">IBM</a>
coming to answer your questions.</p> 


<p><span class="header2">To submit a question</span> first note that the questions should be vendor neutral, for instance: "Who do you see as your typical customer as far as size and profile?" or "What does your container offer as far as integration with products such as Seibel or SAP?". Not "This is for panel member X. I'm trying to have an EJB open connections to 3 other machines in each call but I don't like closing them. Why is my EJB crashing?". You may submit as many questions as you like to <a HREF="mailto:acoliver@superlinksoftware.com">Andrew C. Oliver</a>. You don't have to be a JUG Member. 

<p>Each member of the panel will get equal time to answer.</p>

<p>There will be pizza, drinks and the rest, but show up early, this one will probably be packed.</p>
